Indeed, it's done - the 'update-desktop-databse' error pops up since OS X doesn't ship with the package that provides the program:

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/desktop-file-utils

You should now be able to set some environment variables and startup Wine:

export PATH="${HOME}/wine/wine-1.1.36/bin:${PATH}"
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="${HOME}/wine/wine-1.1.36/lib:/usr/X11/lib:/usr/lib"
which wine # should return /Users/AndyBob/wine/wine-1.1.36/bin/wine
wine winecfg # should bring up the wine config app

Good luck, let me know how it goes and if you have any trouble, let me know:

Don't think anyone (besides me) is actually using this, so I'd love to have some feedback! -ryan
